A few weeks ago, we introduced you to Christie Inge, life coach extraordinaire. Please take a second to go back and read her guest post! As I mentioned then, I’m going to be tackling some of the questions that Christie presents in her getting started guide. The good, the bad, the ugly…I’m going to bare [...]
I’m a huge fan of chips. They’re the perfect blend of crunchy and salty that makes my mouth happy happy. I mean, seriously, what’s better than a nice crunchy chip when the snack craving hits? Sadly, my beloved chips have become an infrequent luxury rather than my go-to snack since I began following a healthier [...]
The Weigh In Happy Wednesday, Shrinkers!! Wow, here we are in February already! How is that even possible?! It seems like just a week or so ago that it was the start of the New Year and our first challenge of 2012! So far, we’ve completed four full weeks of the challenge which means it’s [...]
I’m a huge fan of seafood, especially shrimp. It’s one of my favorite types of seafood to cook at home because it’s quick, easy, and is a great fit with my Weight Watchers food plan. I recently came across this recipe for Dijon Shrimp. Unfortunately, I don’t remember exactly where I found it, but it’s [...]

In case you haven’t heard, Chobani just introduced some awesome new flavors! From left to right, we’ve got Apple Cinnamon, Blood Orange, and Passion Fruit. These flavors are so new, you may not have seen them in your local store yet, but keep your eyes open because they should be there SOON! I was fortunate [...]
We have almost made it through the first week of 2012! For us shrinkers, that means that we are probably following some sort of eating plan or have been thinking about changing our eating habits. I’m digging into our archives and linking to some of our older posts outlining specific eating plans. Do your research [...]
Hellllloooooo Shrinkers! How is every doing during this wonderful holiday season? Are you sticking with your healthy habits or indulging a bit here and there (or everywhere)? It’s time to face the music and the scale for our weekly weigh in. How’d you do this week? As for me, I confess (oh wait, that was [...]
In honor of the new PointsPlus 2012 program update rolling out this week from Weight Watchers (learn even more about the changes here from the CEO), we thought this would be a great time to share a Weight Watchers menu as part of our on-going Shrinking Menu Planning series. I don’t think it’s any secret [...]
Ok, so I know Thanksgiving was actually yesterday, but I’m extra thankful for something today — a new start!! Here we are on the Friday side of Thanksgiving. I know for most of us that we’re still kind of at the beginning of a long weekend, but the Thanksgiving holiDAY is actually over and done. [...]
We crowned the winner of our SHRINKVIVOR challenge last week, and we thought it was only right to get her thoughts on the whole losing weight/getting healthy journey! Here’s what Whitney had to say: I wish I could say that my Weight Loss Journey began with a bang, that I woke up one morning with [...]
I have to be honest, I’m not very good at menu planning every week. The two times I have done since we started this segment at Shrinking Jeans have been awesome weeks of eating at our house. All the other weeks that I have not done it have still been yummy weeks of eating but [...]
Ever have one of those nights where you just need a tasty meal in a hurry? I had one of those nights earlier this week. I worked late and was starving by the time I got home. I wanted something tasty. I wanted something quick. I wanted something that wouldn’t blow my Weight Watchers PointsPlus [...]
It seems all kinds of wrong to make a comfort food like chili when it is still 100+ degrees outside but when I saw this recipe, realized I had almost all the ingredients in my cupboard/fridge, and that it used a crock pot (one of my all-time favorite kitchen appliances)- I wasted no time in [...]
